'Pot of Gold' Altered Paint Can

Here is the paint can I made for my NSSS, Chantal for our final month of the swap. It was a 'Pot of Gold' as it was filled with lots of scrapbooking goodies! I also made the matching flower card. The rainbow, sun, butterfly and flowers were all made from the Hello Kitty cricut cartridge. This is my new favourite cartridge! Not only are there adorable Hello Kitty cuts, but there are also a ton of cutesy extras that are great for all sorts of craft projects. This can was just so much fun to make! The patterned paper is Basic Grey, and I used various ribbon to decorate the handle of the can. I also added Fancy Pants buttons for the centre of the flowers and the butterfly's head, plus some stickles to add a little sparkle.
